Our annual visit from Spoofer and Doofer La
Those are the pet names John and Amy use for one another, and I find them so funny! They're prolly gonna kill me for calling them that on my blog, but they love me enough to get over it. :-)
John and Amy came for a long weekend, and it was so awesome! We hadn't spent time with just the four of us since Becca left us stranded at John's (soon to be Amy's too) apartment. That was Christmas time! Too long ago! We were suppose to go to a baseball game Friday night, but they hit bad weather, and by the time they got here, it was too late to go. Instead we caught up on eachother's lives over some Max n' Erma's. We pretty much take every guest we have to that place, and Mike's pretty sick of it. He was still trying to talk us out of going there as we were pulling in to the parking lot. He sucked it up though and appeased Amy and I. We pretty much wanted to go for the cookies.
We acually ate out quite a bit over the course of 4 days. I only had to cook once, and I was obiviously a little rusty because I made the smoke alarms go off in our house. No wonder my daddy calls it the cookin' alarm- no Freer can cook without it going off! But as I was saying, we ate out a lot. on Sunday night we took them into the city and up one of the inclines to go to a resturant that overlooks the cityscape. John was not so excited about this since I acidentally used the words "old" and "rickity" to describe the incline train. I'm pretty sure he was holding Amy's hand mighty tight, and he was DEFINATLY the first one off the train when it stopped. Widdle Jonny was a widdle nervous! I'm hate the incline too, but I actually didn't mind it too much since I was so amused my John. But it was all worth it to see the view of the city. We relaxed for a few hours, and stuffed our faces as we watched the sun set over the city.
After we got home we got in our comfy clothes and retired to the basement for movie time! This was the other event that occured as much as our food outings. Amy and I snacked while John and Mike made fun of whatever movie we watched. It's really really scary how much Mike and John are alike. Hope you're prepared, Amy!
When we weren't watching movies, or eating, we played Phase 10. John's already shaking his head because he know's what's comin....yes, people, I won both times we played, and it was a sweet, sweet victory! I love playing with John because he takes it just as serious as me. Mike isn't a game player, so he's pretty passive about it all. And Amy is passive too, but at least she amused us. :-) Mike put more effort into beating me up than he did winning.
It was a wonderful weekend full of relaxation and laughter. Even though I'm pretty sure they only used us to shop at our IKEA, I was so happy to have them come down. You guys are the best!

"Yeah, Like baby fish mouth is sweeping the nation..."
I can't even tell you how excited I am that Mike and I are going on vacation this next week. Life has been too crazy to handle, and I'm looking forward to sleeping in, laying out, shopping, and actually seeing my husband! Every year since we've been married, we make an annual trip down to NC with our good friends Aimee and Shane to see Shane's brother and sister-in-law. It all started out as a trip to get away from the awful winters in Buffalo, and to let the boys ride their motorcycles. But now it's evolved to a golfing trip for the boys, and a catch up time for me and Aimee. So fun. Can't wait.
I'm finally into the rhythm of getting up early for work. I look forward to going to see my kids. Their all so funny. I have a little boy who HATES when I sing. This has never happened to me before. I've had people prefer other voices to mine, and that's totally okay, but I've never had anyone all out hate it when I sing. We always have music playing in the room, and ya'll know me- I can't listen to music and NOT sing, so I do. And this little boy will stop what he's doing to come over to me, scowl, and say, "no" every two seconds until I stop. He will follow me around to make sure I hear him say no. The kid isn't even two! And once I stop, he'll go back to eating/playing/whatever he was doing at the time I started to sing. I took offense to it at first (which is REALLY sad, I know), but now I just do it to annoy him. I'm so mean. But it's hilarious, you have to admit.
I have another girl who has a creepier quirk. She sleeps with one eye open. Literally. It freaks me out. At nap time I can't even look at her. I've never seen anything like it. Now does anyone sleep with an eye open? I thought it was just a figment of speech! Totally freeky. Totally.
So I need to have a little chat with J.J. Abrams... why does he feel the need to kill off some of my favorite characters in his shows? My annoyance with the man all started when he "killed" Vaughn in Alias, but now he kills of Nadia after being in a coma for a year. Annoying. Then on lost he kills Anna Lucia AND Libby, who I was hoping would get together with Hurley. Annoying. Why is he getting rid of such great characters? Why does America like to see good people go. Why Paris, on American Idol? And more importantly, WHY was Elliot in the bottom two! ANNOYING! I'm done with having anxiety attacks while watching my shows! All that has to be done is put Elliot and Kathrine in the final two, and I shall be content. I love them both equally, and I don't care who wins out of the two. That's all I need, America. It's not too much to ask.
